The RU-BNF is a high quality bi-directional interface that converts three Dante channels to RDL Format-A and one Dante channel to a balanced AUX output. It also converts three Format-A pairs and one AUX input to Dante channels. The RU-BNF is compatible with RDL Format-A twisted-pair end-point products.
RDL’s Format-A system utilizes the 4 pairs of a standard CATx cable; 3 pairs (pairs A, B and C) are designated for sending and receiving audio and the fourth pair is used to distribute 24 Vdc to connected Format-A products.
The RU-BNF provides signal presence metering and is equipped to power connected Format-A endpoints.
The RU-BNF is also available in a PoE version (RU-BNFP). If PoE power and an external 24 Vdc supply are both feeding an RU-BNFP, the unit will run from the external supply and will seamlessly switch over to PoE power upon loss of the external supply.
